  Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR is a high-quality, granular herbicide that provides an economical solution for controlling woody weeds on grazing lands. It effectively targets species such as Brigalow, Teatree regrowth, Mimosa Pigra, and other problematic weeds. With 200g/kg of the proven active ingredient tebuthiuron, it delivers dependable, long-lasting control.

APPLICATION

For aerial and ground applications, the recommended rate is between 7.5 kg and 15 kg per hectare. A single application typically remains effective for several years. As woody weed competition decreases, forage grass production often improves, though this is also reliant on sufficient rainfall and proper grazing management.

Note that Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR may cause temporary herbicidal symptoms in perennial grasses, and higher rates intended for woody weed control may result in grass loss. To minimize this impact, it’s best to apply the herbicide when grasses are dormant.

Features & Benefits

• Ready-to-use selective granular herbicide.

Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR Hand Application.

• It is recommended that gloves be used during hand application.
• Apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR by uniformly distributing by hand over the desired area after weighing out the recommended quantity of pellets.
• The best way to calibrate yourself is to weigh a normal handful of pellets. If, for example, a handful weighs 20 grams, then this will treat 20 m2 at 1 g/m2 and 10 m2 at 2 g/m2.

Dispenser / Hand Spreader.

• Apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR 200 by uniformly distributing by hand after dispensing a single dose (7 g) from the dispenser unit. Apply the pellets at 1 to 2 g/m2. One dose (7 g) will treat 7 to 3.5 m2 at these rates.
• When applying pellets to small regrowth up to 1 m high, distribute them under the regrowth canopy from the root crown or stems to 30 cm beyond the drip zone of the plants you want to control.
• The first significant rain dissolves the pellets moving Tebuthiuron into the soil.
• Additional rainfall takes Tebuthiuron into the root zone where it is absorbed by the roots of woody plants.
• The time required for complete plant death depends on soil type, amount of rainfall, root depth, plant species, plant density and rate of Tebuthiuron used. Some species may go through several defoliations from 6 months to 2 years before dying.
• Timber and regrowth control with Tebuthiuron pellets may be variable when used on soils with high clay content, high organic matter or when treating deep rooted or more tolerant species.

Treating Regrowth along Fencelines.

• To obtain reliable control of regrowth, so it does not interfere with the wires in the fence line, ensure pellets are evenly distributed 2 m either side of the fenceline, i.e. a 4 m swath.
• Please note that large trees outside the treated area may have their roots extending into where the pellets are placed. These trees will be affected and may result in being controlled.

Treating Individual Woody Weed Regrowth.

• Estimate the area to where the roots may extend from the plant; this may be up to 1.5 times the height of the plant from the trunk and well beyond the plant canopy.
• It is essential that this area is treated as evenly as possible, with pellets being spread from the trunk to beyond the foliage drip line formed by the branches to where the roots may extend.
• Do not throw all the pellets at the base of the trunk. This will waste material and could result in poor control.
• Rates are a general guide only. Before opening, carefully read Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR Herbicide Directions for Use, Precautionary and Protection Statements, Storage and Disposal, Safety Directions and First Aid Instructions.

RESTRAINTS:

• Do not apply this product to salt or erosion prone areas.
• Do not apply this product within 100 metres of a recognised watercourse.
• Do not apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR on land with a slope greater than 20 percent (11 degrees).
• Do not apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR under conditions which will cause pellet movement to non-target areas during application.
• Retain at least 20 percent of the original tree population in wildlife corridors that are at least 100 metres wide. These are essential for shade and protection of livestock and native fauna. Ideally, shelter belts should traverse variable terrain, particularly ridgelines and hill tops as well as water courses, and link other vegetated corridors where possible.
• For long term viability retain a minimum of 5 hectares for shade areas, regardless of vegetation type.
• Do not apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR on field crops, near desirable trees or shrubs or to areas into which their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed in contact with their roots as injury or death may occur.
• Do not apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR to land to be put under field crops within 5 years of application.
